Actress Yasmien Kurdi showcases drama prowess in ‘Hiram na Anak’
People say a mother’s love is unconditional. But how can you love a child whom you have treated as your own, after finding out that her true parents ruined your dreams of raising your real daughter?
Beginning Feb. 25, GMA Network presents another enthralling tale of a mother’s love for a daughter “Hiram Na Anak.” The series is topbilled by Yasmien Kurdi and Dion Ignacio, together with Paolo Contis and Lauren Young. After 10 years, Yasmien and Dion reunite to breathe life into the characters of Miren and Adrian, a happily married couple. Miren is a simple, loving, and kind woman who works as a midwife. Adrian, on the other hand, is a faithful gentleman and her one great love. Unfortunately, Miren has difficulties conceiving a child and the couple decides to adopt—a decision that dramatically changes the course of their lives.
Joining them are equally versatile artists Paolo Contis as Benjo, a street-smart and arrogant former seafarer; and Lauren Young as Dessa, a strongwilled woman who never got over her anger toward her parents. Playing a very special role in the series is Empress Schuck as Wena, a doting yet naïve department store saleslady who falls for Benjo.
“Hiram na Anak” showcases how a parent’s love remains selfless in the face of adversity, and how far a parent will always be willing to go for the sake of his or her child. Under the helm of director Gil Tejada Jr,. “Hiram na Anak” airs this Feb. 25 on GMA7.
